Sailing on the Rhine through the most gorgeous part of this mighty river floating down as we sail upstream. It’s the heart of the Rhine and its villages that go back to the Middle Ages. History, great views, castles and a meandering river, it’s all here for us to bike along. Father Rhine, the greatest waterway in the world. Much more than a shipping highway, the river is the pulsing economic vein of Germany and Europe. Around every bend, legends spring to life…the plunging Lorelei cliffs, deadly Bingen Reef, the fabled site where Rheingold is buried…to name a few ancient places that touch our souls and connect us with great literature, music and history. Then at Mainz we enter the Main River, here we definitely entering into the Franconian region, with great historic villages and worldfamous cities like Frankfurt. Once almost the capital of Germany. Now full of museums and a “Mainhattan” skyline. Discover the lovely Aschaffenburg at the end of this trip. This tour in the heart of Germany is certainly giving you an excellent impression of this great country. Travel through it’s history!
Biking is easygoing on paved bike paths most of the time. It’s always safe as we avoid traffic and you are guided. If you do not feel like biking you can stay on board and enjoy a day of sailing. Our guides stop regularly and take you to the highlights on the daily tour.
